ARC Review: What Lurks In The Woods – Struggle and Hope in the Midst of Chronic Illness by Nicole Bell
13/10/2021 11/10/2021 Categories memoir, Nicole Bell, Non-FictionLeave a Comment on ARC Review: What Lurks In The Woods – Struggle and Hope in the Midst of Chronic Illness by Nicole Bell
Author: Nicole Bell
Release Date: 23rd October 2021
Genre: Memoir, Non-Fiction
Publisher: –
Russ and Nicole Bell were an upwardly mobile happy couple: two kids, big house, fun hobbies, marvelous life. But something wasn't quite right—with Russ. He started forgetting things, he got lost, he became enraged, he was harsh with the kids. And he could no longer be trusted with minor responsibilities.
They visited doctor after doctor after doctor to try to determine what was wrong, to no avail. "Alzheimer's," they were told, but that didn't make sense. Russ was too young for that. As the formerly brilliant engineer literally lost his mind and his self, the answer finally became clear—but was it in time?
In this beautifully written but tragic memoir, Nicole Bell documents their journey through the medical minefield as they searched for answers and treatments. This book will inspire people who are suffering from chronic, symptom-based illnesses to dig deeper, so they can find and treat the root causes of their disease before it's too late.
What Lurks In The Woods by Nicole Bell is a heart-wrenching and emotional memoir that is hard to read but even harder to put down.
This book is a very realistic and harsh reminder for the reader about how tragic chronic illness is and how it affects everyone including the patient and the caregiver. The author has bravely shared a deeply personal as well as emotionally taxing and psychologically jarring experience of her husband's descent into dementia and how they struggled with finding answers that were crucial to their lives, especially to her husband's health.
This book is very well-written and I would definitely recommend it to everyone because it is a treasure trove of lessons for each and every single reader, no matter what you do, where you are from or who you are.

Publisher: BookBaby
Ravens In The Rain centers around Pru and Carney, she's a woman with a past, and he's a man with no future. Down on luck and down on love, they meet over a game of chance at an off-strip Vegas casino, and Carney wonders if Pru's sparkle is what he needs to lift him from his darkness. He doesn't even mind that she swiped a hundred-dollar bill from an old cowboy. It excites him.
While Pru, disillusioned by her sparkle, is now accustomed to the cynical disposition of vagabond life. She's not looking for a one-night stand; she's looking for survival and sizing Carney up as a comfortable solution, for the moment. When she finds out who he really is, she'll ante up for the game of her life.
This romantic noir is a turbulent flight; like dating in the 21st century, it's dangerous and daring.
Ravens In The Rain by Christie Santo & Jeff Santo is an intriguing and entertaining noir love story.
Being a mystery and crime fiction fan, I've read some noir crime mysteries but a noir romance novel was a first for me and I'm glad that I read It because I enjoyed it more than the normal romance novels. Ravens In The Rain is a well-written novel with a great concept that is executed really well. I enjoyed the imagery invoked by the author's writing style that bordered on magic realism while staying true to the noir story elements.
It was an experience in itself. I enjoyed the characterisation as they are richly developed and had really good background stories. Overall it is a great story and I'd definitely recommend it to all readers, romance readers and others alike.

Release Date: 19th September 2021
Genre: Non-Fiction, Self-Development, Self-Help
Publisher: A Helping Mind
Have you ever said "I WILL BE HAPPY IF…"?
Did you ever achieve that? And if so, what happened next? Are you living happily ever after, or did you set new goals and update your "I will be happy if…" statement? Why does your happiness have to be conditional?
By searching for happiness, we are basically telling ourselves "I am not happy now", and happiness itself becomes a temporary solution to distract ourselves from how we are actually feeling.
By re-introducing ourselves to our core instincts and drives, we can start to see how we developed unhelpful thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours. With this insight, these negative aspects of ourselves are no longer "bad", instead they are logical and justified.
By considering the knowledge, skills and possible supports highlighted in this book, you will see that you no longer need to avoid, suppress or endure any part of your true self.
By using your full potential, you are better able to face any challenge and life experience, and in doing so, experience, welcome and acknowledge all of the associated feelings and emotions naturally.
Finding Happiness In The Dark by Kenneth Liddane is a very well-written and well-executed book on helping oneself in times of need when the mind goes into the dark seat and we start to feel alone and unhappy.
This is a book by a very experienced person who is not only equipped with dealing with his own patients for consultations but also has the education and the drive for it. This book had some really great concepts, understandable and relatable answers to some common questions and some brilliant techniques and tricks that can help a person come out of the recesses of depression, anxiety and the com orbit conditions. At least on the surface level. In order to get treated or to know more, you can always consult with the author.
I would recommend this book to everyone who is either going through a dark phase or knows someone who is suffering because of it.

Publisher: Quiet Thunder Publishing
What happens when an American girl of Eurasian descent finds herself suddenly immersed in all facets of her Armenian ancestry? Told with an often soulfully introspective voice, "Destiny of Dreams" follows the true story of a teenager and her grandfather, retracing loving, learning, and terrifying footprints of the past. While survival remains center stage, love and courage must emerge, or all will be both lost and forgotten. More fact than fiction, the author reveals her Armenian roots in this historical novel, chronicling her family members' love, strength, and resolve to both survive and thrive in treacherous times. Reflecting the traumas suffered by all people displaced from their original homelands, this Armenian story focuses on one family's challenge to find light in the dark days of the waning Ottoman Empire. Anyone with the diaspora in their family heritage will relate. Whether thinking of Jewish people from Israel, Africans scattered through slavery, Armenians fleeing annihilation in Turkey, so-called boat people escaping Asia, or Syrians fleeing life-threatening violence in their own nation, humans continue to rise up in the face of the toughest times. Who would emerge from extraordinarily desperate places, and how could they choose to set positive examples of humanity during highly inhumane times? Set in the early 1900s and flashing forward to the 1960s, the story's themes ring with tolerance and intolerance, dreams and destroyers, family and friends, amidst challenges that eerily parallel life in current judgmental scenarios.
Written for Young Adult and Adult audiences, the book contains some explicit descriptions and a couple of disturbing, though not graphic, violent scenes. While not gratuitous, the depictions may be unsuitable for young readers
Destiny Of Dreams: Time Is Dear by Cathy Burnham Martin is a beautifully written historical fiction book about survival and the darkness that plagues our society.
This book was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, along with quiet graphic descriptions of violence, which lent this book an air of seriousness that otherwise would have been missing. I liked reading this book from cover to cover because the plot was very engaging, the writing was good, the characterisation was well done and the execution of the story was really good.
I would recommend this book to all historical fiction buffs. Although do keep in mind that this book has some graphic violent scenes (for those who might find them triggering.)

Japan, 1620: A mysterious shipwreck has left cabin boy Simon Grey stranded in an unfamiliar, dangerous land.

Instead, he finds that his ability draws him into the shadowy world of yokai, the spirits and monsters that roam Japan by night. Together with the mysterious Oyuki, daughter of an English sailor-turned-samurai, Simon must earn the yokai's trust and help, while staying one step ahead of the Shogun's guards and an evil sorcerer determined to discover the "secret" of Simon's powers.

The writing style was simple yet effective and the story flowed pretty well from the beginning to end. The pacing was even and the tension created had a great graph. The book was culturally rich and provided keen insights into Japan's history all the time carefully managing not to get too overly informative.
Overall it was a really enjoyable book and I'd recommend it to all readers who enjoy reading adventure stories in historical settings, especially the readers who like exploring new cultrues.

Author: Minka Kent
Genre: Thriller, Mystery
Two sisters raised in fear are about to find out why in a chilling novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Thinnest Air.
Ignorant of civilization and cautioned against its evils, nineteen-year-old Wren and her two sisters, Sage and Evie, were raised in off-the-grid isolation in a primitive cabin in upstate New York. When the youngest grows gravely ill, their mother leaves with the child to get help from a nearby town. And they never return.
As months pass, hope vanishes. Supplies are low. Livestock are dying. A brutal winter is bearing down. Then comes the stranger. He claims to be looking for the girls' mother, and he's not leaving without them.
To escape, Wren and her sister must break the rule they've grown up with: never go beyond the forest.
Past the thicket of dread, they come upon a house on the other side of the pines. This is where Wren and Sage must confront something more chilling than the unknowable. They'll discover what's been hidden from them, what they're running from, and the secrets that have left them in the dark their entire lives.
The Stillwater Girlsby Minka Kent is one of those few books that managed to grab my attention on NetGalley with a beautiful blurb and cover image when I was trying hard not to request any new titles at all. I was very excited to read this book and finally when I dove in expecting a mind-blowing thriller, I ended up marking it as another disappointing DNF read.
For some reason, I was not able to get past the first 8% of the book. Even though I really wanted to read this book, a couple of intolerable things led me to abandon this book even though when I almost made up my mind to simply skim over the pages in order to at least find out the mystery:
Chapters full of fragmented sentences for exposition which led to overtreatment of a technique I otherwise love and use in my own works.
Excessive foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is good, necessary even in thrillers for building suspense, but here it was too much.
I felt forced by the author to feel sympathetic to the girls living alone. It felt like the girls themselves (or at least the POV one) were screaming at the readers to feel sorry for them and their conditions. As a result, I simply felt irritation and nothing more.
focus on the unnecessary details and overall, the writing felt immature; it felt like the author wanted to go for Gillian Flynn's writing style but ended up totally botching it up.
All in all, I think this book has a lot of potential in terms of the plot, or so the blurb has led me to believe but failed miserably.

Author: L.M. Brown
Genre: Short Story Collection, World Fiction
Publisher: Fomite
The stories in this linked collection are set in a small village in the Northwest of Ireland in the early 1980's and 90's. A by-pass around the village has rid them of their once busy traffic. The residents feel forgotten by the world. The need to reach out and be heard is explored in every story, from the young woman who starts to have phone conversations with her husband's gay lover, to the dyslexic man who confronts his cruel teacher years later.
The collection is not only about the characters need for salvation but it is about a society that is unraveling. In Amends, we hear about the Bishop who has fathered a child. A priest is beckoned by a dying man to be mocked. The world inside and outside the village is changing. In every story the characters need to make a choice on how they might carry on.
Treading The Uneven Road by L.M. Brown is a beautiful collection of short stories about a small town in Ireland in the early '80s and '90s. I had a very good time reading this book and the thing I found most impressive about this story collection is that each and every story bore a plethora of emotions that were very real and relatable. Being from a small town myself, I enjoy books that display the lives of people in small towns, the highs and the lows of living in a close-knit and ever-watching society. So I really enjoyed this book.
All the stories were related in some way or the other and so they felt more like chapters than individual stories which was another thing that I liked as this made the overall theme more interesting. The characterization was good, the writing was good and the pacing was very good. I'd say this book would make for an excellent coffee table book.
I'd recommend this book to everyone who loves exploring new cultures and distinct works fo literature.

Edition: Ebook
Publisher: Crooked Lane Books
"Mother knows best" takes on a sinister new meaning in this unsettling thriller perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Grimms' Fairy Tales, and Aimee Molloy's The Perfect Mother.
Everyone says Lauren Tranter is exhausted, that she needs rest. And they're right; with newborn twins, Morgan and Riley, she's never been more tired in her life. But she knows what she saw: that night, in her hospital room, a woman tried to take her babies and replace them with her own…creatures. Yet when the police arrived, they saw no one. Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she's imagining things.
A month passes. And one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren's side in a park. But when they're found, something is different about them. The infants look like Morgan and Riley—to everyone else. But to Lauren, something is off. As everyone around her celebrates their return, Lauren begins to scream, These are not my babies.
Determined to bring her true infant sons home, Lauren will risk the unthinkable. But if she's wrong about what she saw…she'll be making the biggest mistake of her life.
Compulsive, creepy, and inspired by some our darkest fairy tales, Little Darlings will have you checking—and rechecking—your own little ones. Just to be sure. Just to be safe.
Let me begin by saying that when I first saw this book's listing on NetGalley, I was totally in awe! It had the most amazing cover, an incredible blurb and (upon further research) some really good reviews in the book's favour. So basically it had it all and I was positive that this will be one heck of a read.
To be honest, I couldn't start reading this book fast enough and I felt like this right till the moment I started reading this book:
But when I started reading this book, say about 20-25 pages in, I was really not sure if I was reading the right book because the writing felt very forceful and unnecessarily dramatic. For one, the author kept going on and on about how the main character (don't even remember the name) did not feel "the rush of love" for her newborn twins. I am all for complex and grey characters, but after a while, it did start to feel like the author was unnecessarily pressing the point on the readers in order to make them hate the MC (or maybe they just wanted to make the readers feel that the character was very complex) either way, it felt too forced and outright fake. Still, I kept on reading in the hopes that maybe once this part gets over the good part would begin.
Then came the part where the MC was being checked by the doctor in order to see if her womb (?) was okay (not even sure if I even understood that part) and then everything went to hell because the descriptions got so crazily gross that it's going to take me a long time to get over it. I mean, if you haven't been pregnant ever, then I recommend not to read this part as it sure as hell scared the shit out of me!!
AND THAT WAS IT FOR ME!
I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
If you've read this book and liked it, then hats off to you! But you haven't yet read this book and are planning to read it, then I'd suggest to check out some other book on twins and/or pregnant-female-horror fiction like Cleaving Souls by Chauncey Rogers or stick to the plain ol' decent thrillers like Sister Sister by Sue Fortin or The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena.

By mid-century, Arctic oil drilling accelerates global warming and triggers famine and world war. A team of scientists launches Project Titan to reverse climate change and end fossil fuel addiction. Without a radical solution, humanity faces catastrophe.Earth's sixth mass extinction is underway. One hope remains.
Extinction 6 by Hosein Kouros-Mehr is a very well-written dystopian read that highlights one of the most serious issues that threatens the entire planet.
First off, the book was a fantastic read – it was equal parts enjoyable, interesting and thought-provoking. Once I started the book, I was easily able to flow through the pages at a very fast speed which says a lot about the smooth flow of the writing and the simple yet effective use of the language. The plot progression was good and the pacing decent.
I liked the characterization, though I wasn't able to overly connect or relate to the protagonist. Still, I enjoyed the story enough to not have a big problem with it and overall it was a very good read.
I enjoyed the book right until the very end and want to keep exploring more titles by the author. I'd recommend this book to all dystopian and sci-fi reads and to those who take a special interest in the main subject – climate change.

Release Date: 15th May 2018

Publisher: St. Martin's Press
From the author of Happiness for Beginners comes an unforgettable love story about finding joy even in the darkest of circumstances.
Margaret Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she's worked for so hard and so long: a new dream job, a fiancé she adores, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a brief, tumultuous moment.
In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Maggie must confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Chip, who wallows in self-pity while simultaneously expecting to be forgiven. Then, there's her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act. Finally, there's Ian, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Ian, who won't let her give in to her pity, and who sees her like no one has seen her before. Sometimes the last thing you want is the one thing you need. Sometimes we all need someone to catch us when we fall. And sometimes love can find us in the least likely place we would ever expect.
How to Walk Away is Katherine Center at her very best—a masterpiece of a novel that is both hopeful and hilarious; truthful and wise; tender and brave.
Praise for How to Walk Away:
"A heartbreak of a novel that celebrates resilience and strength." —Jill Santopolo, bestselling author of The Light We Lost
"If you just read one book this year, read How to Walk Away." —Nina George, New York Times bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop
"Warm, witty, and wonderfully observed." —Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author of First Comes Love"Sympathetic and refreshing!" —Elinor Lipman, bestselling author of The Family Man
"I can't think of a blurb good enough for this novel…poignant, funny, heartbreaking." —Jenny Lawson, bestselling author ofFuriously Happy
How To Walk Away by Katherine Center is a beautiful book about loss, love, courage and hope that has a lot to offer to its readers apart from an exceptional story.
I am so glad that I read this book! It is a really, really good book and has taught me a lot of things about forgiveness – which definitely doesn't come easy, loss – which does hurt a lot, and hope – which, even though difficult to hold onto, can turn around one's life.
This book had a delightful mixture of a well thought-out storyline, a string of not only believable and realistic but also very relatable characters, very engaging yet simple writing with an exceptional sense of humour and an excellent ending.
What I really loved about this book was that the author didn't sugarcoat things, she put things forward the way they are in real life, but she did it so without being overdramatic. I generally shy away from reading books with illness/medical situations because most of the authors present the pain in such horrific (sometimes honest, sometimes not) details and the overall experiences, more often than not, leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. That said, if done right, these books are nothing short of magic because they have a lot of lessons and takeaways along with a good story (which, as a reader, is always the main thing for me.) For example, I loved John Green's The Fault In Our Stars, but I didn't really like Nicola Yoon's Everything, Everything.
I'd recommend this book not only to all the contemporary fiction readers but to anyone and everyone who wants to read a really, really good book.

From the 1720s onward, the kingdom was beset with repeated Meithei raids into Upper Myanmar and a nagging revolt in Lan Na. In 1740, the Mon of Lower Myanmar founded the Restored Hanthawaddy Kingdom. Hanthawaddy forces sacked Ava in 1752, lyrics translation ending the 266-year-old Toungoo Dynasty. Pagan's collapse was followed by 250 years of political fragmentation that lasted well into the sixteenth century. Like the Burmans four centuries earlier, Shan migrants who arrived with the Mongol invasions stayed behind. Several competing Shan States came to dominate the entire northwestern to jap arc surrounding the Irrawaddy valley.
The new country was named the Union of Burma, with Sao Shwe Thaik as its first president and U Nu as its first prime minister. Unlike most other former British colonies and overseas territories, Burma did not turn into a member of the Commonwealth. A bicameral parliament was fashioned, consisting of a Chamber of Deputies and a Chamber of Nationalities, and multi-party elections have been held in 1951–1952, 1956 and 1960.

Joe Martin from "Iron Resurrection" Net Worth, Wife.
January 13, 2022 by Adam
Joe Martin is an artist, mechanic, and entrepreneur who co-owns Martin Bros Customs, a shop that operates in Texas. His passion for cars and motorcycles can be traced back to his youth. Long before he took up restoration, Martin was entangled in the motorcycle business. He'd go around Texas repairing and repainting bikes. Gradually, he started building his own bikes.
Over the years, Joe has worked with reputable television networks like the Discovery Channel and Velocity. Learn more about Joe Martin's net worth and wife. We will explore everything exciting there is to know about him.
Who is Joe Martin?
Joe Martin Net Worth.
Joe Martin from Iron Resurrection is Married to Wife Amanda.
Where is Joe Martin from?
His love for sketching.
His love for mechanics.
Iron Resurrection has greatly impacted his life.
Wayne Carini is his inspiration.
A look at his social media activity.
Joe Martin is a businessman and restoration expert who operates a shop in Texas. Car enthusiasts will recognize him for his recurring role on the velocity show, 'Iron Resurrection.' The show follows Joe, his wife, and the rest of the team they manage at their restoration shop. Most recently, the team has worked on exciting projects like a 63 Impala with a four-speed and a 55 Chevy Bel Air.
The fourth season of Iron Resurrection premiered on February 5th, 2020. The tenth and last episode of the season aired on April 8th, the very same year. Motor Trend has not confirmed whether the show will be renewed for a fifth season. Martin had been on the show since its inception back in April 2016. He has worked on 30 episodes to date.
Martin has multiple sources of income. These include his auto-shop, which not only services and details cars, but also sells merchandise on their online store. Some of the merch available includes a custom t-shirt which is available for $25.
Fans can also buy a custom billet knurled edge radiator cap for $55. Lest we forget, Joe is also the main actor on a velocity channel show. Currently, Joe Martin's net worth is $750,000.
Joe Martin is married to a woman named Amanda. Like her husband, she has always had a love for cars. It is one of the things they have in common. Perhaps it was what brought them together in the first place? Amanda is also listed as a part-owner of Martin Bros Customs, which, as we mentioned before, is a family operated business.
Joe Martin and wife Amanda have kept their relationship relatively under wraps. As such, there is not a lot of detail available on their romantic journey.
Joe Martin from Iron Resurrection was born in Chicago, Illinois. However, he and his family moved to Texas when he was just ten years old.
Drawing is a passion Joe discovered when he was still a young boy. His mother told him that he spent most of his time drawing over walls at home. Joe only stopped drawing on the walls after she got him a sketchpad.
As expected, Joe was not really good when he started drawing. He was a child, after all! To improve, Martin acquired copies of different Hot Rod Magazines and traced a few cars and motorcycles that appeared on the cover. Over time, he gradually improved. He did this by trying to sketch every single mechanical thing he came across. These ranged from trains to bikes.
By the time Joe was a teenager, Joe Martin from Iron Resurrection had developed another interest. Joe wanted to learn everything he could about mechanical things. Because he lacked formal training, Joe opted to learn from his neighbors instead. The older boys proved very helpful and eager to let him learn by watching. Martin kept frequenting garages as often as he could, picking up a few interesting things along the way.
Growing up, Joe always held great admiration for the work of Boyd Coddington. However, his products were highly-priced and out of Martin's price range. Because of this, Joe opted to make his stuff. This came from all the skills he picked up from his neighbors, as well as a few new things he learned on his own.
In a recent interview, Joe revealed that starring on television had changed the way he and his wife live. Although they try to lead ordinary lives, Joe says that he and Amanda get recognized everywhere they go. He added that they had been spotted by fans quite a few times while they were at the airport. Fans have even come up to them at various car shows.
Joe added that he and his wife were normal people who just got lucky. Therefore, it feels a bit strange whenever fans come up to them and ask for an autograph.
Like most people, Joe Martin looks up to Wayne Carini. He is a world-class restorer and television personality who has been a staple on Chasing Classic Cars for decades. Wayne is a charming and likable guy who has inspired numerous people to take up restoration. One of these people was Joe. In turn, he has set out to inspire as many people as he can. That is his ultimate goal.
Joe Martin from Iron Resurrection maintains a very active life online. On Instagram, for instance, he has 120K followers. Martin's account tells us that he is fairly adept when it comes to Custom Fabrication. As expected, most of the page is a testament to his love for cars. These include a 65 nova, a 64 lincoln, and an 83 Silverado.

San Francisco Edges Out Washington to Become the Highest-Income Big U.S. Metro Area – Rebranded
The technology hub of San Francisco surpassed the nation's capital last year as the highest-earning large U.S. metropolitan area.
Median household income in the San Francisco metro area in 2016 was $96,667, just ahead of the $95,843 figure for the Washington region, the Census Bureau announced Thursday. That put the California hotspot in first place among the 25 most populous metro areas, with the capital falling to the No. 2 slot.
The median income for the San Francisco area, including nearby cities such as Oakland and Berkeley, has surged in recent years amid a tech-sector boom and jumped 9.2% in 2016. Incomes in the Washington area, including parts of Maryland and northern Virginia, rose a more modest 2.7% from 2015.
For years, Washington and San Francisco have topped the income chart among the biggest 25 metro areas, a testament to the high-paying jobs surrounding the federal government and the tech industry. (Those areas also tend to have higher costs of living.) Rounding out the top five in terms of income last year were Boston, Seattle, and Baltimore.
San Francisco also had a higher household median income than Washington back in the 2000 census, near the end of the dot-com bubble.
The San Jose, Calif., metro area–home to Silicon Valley–remained in the No. 1 spot last year when looking more broadly at all metropolitan areas.
One caveat to San Francisco's achievement: The difference in 2016 between its median household income and Washington's median household income was not statistically significant, according to the Census Bureau.
The bureau on Thursday released state and local data for 2016 from its American Community Survey, a massive undertaking that seeks detailed information from about 3.5 million households each year. In a separate report on Tuesday, the agency announced that the U.S. median household income was $59,039 in 2016, up to an inflation-adjusted 3.2% from a year earlier on top of a 5.2% gain in 2015.

New parental leave policy providing "huge relief" to expecting city employees
By Tristan Ruppert
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Bringing a child in to the world is no easy task and now the City of Birmingham is looking to make that challenge slightly easier on all city employees.
Mayor Randall Woodfin recently announced that the city is adopting a full paid parental leave of 12 weeks for the birth or placement of a child.
We are now hearing from city employees how they feel about the new policy. Paige Ishmael, a senior planner in the city's transportation department says the announcement was a "huge relief."
She and her husband have talked a handful of times about how much time to take and when.
Both say they did not want to miss their baby girl's first weeks. They plan to name the child Alice, after Paige's grandmother, and the due date is now less than four months away.
Which means Paige will be among the first to take advantage of the new policy.
"I am due in May so this was great timing for me, and it is just great to feel the support of the city financially during that special time which you never get back with your newborn child. So just really looking forward to that time now and have a lot less worries," said Ishmael.
She also stressed that she hopes more businesses and cities follow Birmingham's example not just giving leave to mothers, but to all parents.


Police were handling a car theft report on a blue Volvo when they received reports of a crash and a kidnapping, both involving the same car.
A reportedly stolen car, an alleged kidnapping and a car crash on Monday resulted in the arrest of two men by Fort Myers police on car theft, kidnapping and aggravated assault charges.
Jhon Maxi, 25, of Fort Myers, faces kidnapping and aggravated assault charges and remains in Lee County Jail with no bail set. Xavier Artis, 18, of Fort Myers, faces car theft charges and remains in Lee County Jail with bail set at $5,000. Both men will be arraigned Aug. 27.
At the crash, at Palm Beach and Veronica Shoemaker boulevards, police found Maxi near the Volvo and Artis in a nearby business. Artis had road rash covering his body, skin hanging off his hands, and the police report says he had run out of his shoes.
Artis told police several "Haitian ... dudes" had forced him into the Volvo at gunpoint, going through his pocket and pointing weapons at him. One of the men, he said, followed them in a red Chrysler.
Artis told police he jumped out of the Volvo while driving along Palm Beach near Veronica Shoemaker and ran into a nearby business. The Volvo and the Chrysler crashed when Artis jumped out, police said.
The police report said a weapon was found in the Chrysler, and Maxi later identified it as his. The gun was checked by police and was found to not be stolen.

Kurt Warnekros (November 15, 1882–September 30, 1949) was a German gynaecologist and pioneer in sexual reassignment surgery.

Biography
Kurt Warnekros was born on November 15, 1882 in the family of the professor of medicine Ludwig Warnekros at the University of Berlin. Warnekros himself studied medicine in Würzburg and Berlin from 1902 to 1907. He received his medical license in 1908 and worked at the Women's Hospital of the University of Berlin from 1909. In 1918 Warnekros was appointed professor and in 1924 as head of the hospital. In addition to working as a gynecologist, Warnekros also worked scientifically in the field of X-rays, making x-rays of babies in the womb.

Lili Elbe
In 1930, following a trip to Paris, Warnekros took Lili Elbe (née Wegener) as a patient. As a result, Warnekros arranged a series of operations serving as Elbe's feminizing genitoplasty. This was following the operation performed at Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Research for the removal of Elbe's testicles. A series of three operations was performed. Lili died after the last (as well as most ambitious) operation ventured, when her body rejected the transplanted womb.

Portrayals in popular culture
In the 1933 semi-biographical narrative of Elbe's life, Man Into Woman, Warnekros is depicted through the character Werner Kreutz.

Kurt Warnekros is portrayed by Sebastian Koch in the 2015 film The Danish Girl.

«Они́ сража́лись за Ро́дину» — советский фильм Сергея Бондарчука в двух частях, по одноимённому роману Михаила Шолохова. Лучший фильм по опросу журнала «Советский экран» в 1976 году. Съёмки фильма проходили с мая по октябрь 1974 года в Волгоградской области. Картина стала одной из первых, снятой по новой системе с универсальным форматом кадра, и могла печататься как в обычном, так и в широкоэкранном и даже широкоформатном вариантах.

В кинотеатрах СССР фильм посмотрело 40,6 млн зрителей, в ПНР — 1,302 млн. В 1977 году был удостоен Государственной премии РСФСР имени братьев Васильевых.

Фильм стал последней работой в карьере Василия Шукшина. Актёр скончался во время съёмок, ночью во сне. В оставшихся сценах доснялся Юрий Соловьёв, когда-то учившийся во ВГИКе вместе с Шукшиным, после съёмок Лопахина озвучил уже Игорь Ефимов.

Сюжет
Жаркий июль 1942 года. Красная армия, несмотря на ожесточённое сопротивление, отступает к Дону. Потерявший в боях большое количество солдат, советский стрелковый полк отходит к Сталинграду. Во время привала уставшие солдаты разговаривают на разные темы, купаются и спят. Один из солдат полка, Пётр Лопахин (Василий Шукшин), производящий впечатление весельчака и балагура, ведёт тяжёлую беседу с Николаем Стрельцовым (Вячеслав Тихонов) о положении на фронте. Искупавшись в реке, Лопахин уходит в близлежащую деревню за солью и ведром для только что наловленных раков. Рассчитывая на свою говорливость и обаяние, Лопахин обращается с просьбой к старухе-казачке (Ангелина Степанова), но натыкается на презрительное отношение, поскольку солдаты отступают, фактически оставляя местных жителей на произвол судьбы. После тяжёлого разговора, в котором выясняется, что за маской весельчака у Лопахина скрывается серьёзный человек, глубоко переживающий за судьбу своей страны, старуха выполняет просьбу Лопахина.

Командование даёт задание занять и удерживать высоту посреди степи. С трудом вырыв в каменистой земле окопы, бойцы полка оборудуют позиции и отражают первую танковую атаку при помощи гранат и противотанковых ружей. Перед второй волной немецкая авиация наносит бомбовый удар по позициям полка, в результате чего многие бойцы гибнут, тяжёлую контузию получает рядовой Николай Стрельцов. Вторая танковая атака немцев едва не заканчивается прорывом, но прибывшее советское подкрепление контратакой отбрасывает противника.

Полк проходит ночью по горящему пшеничному полю. Рядовой Иван Звягинцев (Сергей Бондарчук), в прошлом комбайнер, ужасается количеству причинённого войной ущерба.

Дойдя до очередного хутора, бойцы готовятся к бою, а Лопахин, кокетничая с местной заведующей молочной фермой Глашей (Лидия Федосеева-Шукшина), добывает для своего подразделения молока. В очередном бою он вместе с помощником, вторым номером расчёта рядовым Александром Копытовским (Георгий Бурков) сбивает из ПТРД-41 немецкий штурмовик Junkers Ju 87, который взрывается, воткнувшись в холм. Полк готовится вступить в бой с наступающим противником. Командир полка лейтенант Голощёков (Николай Губенко) вызывает Лопахина к себе, благодарит его за сбитый самолёт и делится грустной новостью: к позициям полка приближаются крупные силы противника, а командование приказывает во что бы то ни стало удерживать оборону. Возвращаясь в окопы, Лопахин обходит позиции, разговаривая в шутливой форме (а на самом деле прощаясь) со своими однополчанами — сибиряком Акимом Борзых (Алексей Ванин) и поваром Петро Лисиченко (Николай Шутько), оставившим полевую кухню и пришедшим на передовую, чтобы помочь своим товарищам. После налёта немецкой авиации и артиллерийской подготовки начинается танковая атака. Танки давят позиции обороняющихся: смертью храбрых гибнет молодой ефрейтор Кочетыгов, на последнем вздохе успев поджечь танк при помощи бутылки с горючей смесью. В жестоком бою гибнут многие однополчане, в том числе Борзых и Лисиченко, смертельно ранен лейтенант Голощёков. Советские солдаты идут в контратаку, во время которой рядовой Звягинцев получает тяжёлое осколочное ранение от разрыва миномётного снаряда. Немцы отброшены, а молоденькая, хрупкая медсестра (Татьяна Божок) с трудом вытаскивает крупного («до войны — 93 килограмма») Звягинцева с поля боя.

Похоронив последнего офицера в полку (лейтенанта; Николай Губенко), полк отступает дальше — за Дон. Во время привала рядовой Некрасов (Юрий Никулин), отец четверых детей, веселит солдат-однополчан смешной историей про то, как, находясь на постое в деревенском доме, он ночью случайно напугал спящую на печи дряхлую старуху, которая решила, что он лезет к ней приставать.

В медсанбате врач-хирург (Инокентий Смоктуновский) и ассистирующая ему военврач 3-го ранга (Ирина Скобцева) оперируют раненого Звягинцева без наркоза, доставая многочисленные осколки из ног и спины.

Остатки полка располагается в очередной станице, но в кладовой нет продуктов, а местные жители отказываются кормить отступающих солдат. Разговор с местным председателем колхоза, бывшим фронтовиком и инвалидом (Геннадий Сафронов) результата не даёт, так как он принимает их за «бегунцов». Лопахин предпринимает попытку очаровать неприступную на вид жительницу деревни — Наталью (Нонна Мордюкова) — и весь день помогает ей по хозяйству. Ночью Лопахин пытается соблазнить женщину, но та в темноте бьёт его в глаз. Наутро Лопахин видит изобилующий продуктами стол и делает вывод, что его план всё же удался. Наталья же с горечью отвечает ему, что у неё есть муж, который сейчас лежит в госпитале, а еду местные женщины приготовили только потому, что старшина полка (Иван Лапиков) ночью пришел к председателю колхоза и рассказал о том, что его солдаты на днях дали тяжелейший бой противнику. Наталья добавляет, что местные жители готовы отдать всё что у них есть, лишь бы солдаты их защитили.

Полк отведён на отдых и пополнение личного состава. Лопахин в толпе замечает своего старого друга, рядового Николая Стрельцова. Оказывается, тот сбежал из медсанбата. Несмотря на полную глухоту и заикание от полученной контузии, Стрельцов присоединяется к своим боевым товарищам. Оставшиеся в живых однополчане собираются на пригорке и видят, как большие силы советских войск двигаются в сторону Сталинграда — к решающему сражению.

Полк потерял много людей — осталось не больше 30 человек, но сберёг своё знамя. Прибывший раненный полковник (Евгений Самойлов) перед строем сердечно благодарит бойцов, произносит слова клятвы донести знамя победы до стен Берлина.

Exclusive - David Bickerton to be Clifford Chance's next Senior Partner
I can confirm that David Bickerton will be Clifford Chance's next Senior Partner.
Of course I had previously confirmed that the role would be filled by Jeremy Sandelson. And it would have been, had Jeremy not pulled out of the race. Presumably he's worked out that he's got better things to do than spend half his time on a plane to the Perth office, attempting to dissuade Bruce Nomark and his team from defecting to a competitor, and the other half in a dinner jacket at the worshipful company of swine herders making small talk with the owner of a shoelace factory in Guangzhou.
David has no such reticence. He asks not what his firm can do for him but what he can do for his firm. After a lifetime behind the mast he is now prepared to give back, clock up the airmiles and dust off the tux.
I mentioned that a rival candidate would emerge from continental Europe. Two have – not Horst from Cologne but Yves from Paris and Jeroen from Amsterdam. Close enough… I don't know them, I'm sure they're sound as a pound. But Yves was unsuccessful when he ran against Matthew Layton for Managing Partner four years ago and his dance card is now looking a little tatty. Jeroen seems a better bet (although as Michael Caine said in Austin Powers, "there are only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.") But David is the most reasonable choice. He has run the firm's largest office with notable success for eight years, ramping up both profits and reputation. CC was always the poor man of the Magic Circle – as my supervising partner used to sneer, "the biggest, but ever so slightly blue collar". Under the triumvirate of Sweeting, Layton and Bickerton it may not have reached the aristocratic heights of Slaughter and May but it's certainly upper middle class with a rectory in the Cotswolds and Christmas in Antigua.
How it might look.
His appointment is all the more important given Brexit. CC's profitability (and that of all big firms in the City) depends on contracts continuing to be governed by English or New York law. Senior Partners at other firms have told me that they've recently seen a trend of lawyers in Frankfurt or Paris pushing for their own jurisdictions. This needs to be resisted. London and New York are the legal centres of the world. This has not changed since the 2016 referendum – City firms have been posting record results – and it will not change after March next year. London still has the best, truly independent, non-political judiciary in the world (cough, Kavanaugh, cough), it is where big business wants to live, work and litigate.
And, finally, he's widely regarded as a properly decent guy. Certainly by me – I declare an interest, we've been great friends for nearly a decade. Unassuming and entirely lacking in pomposity, he'd blush to read this. But when he tips up at a drinks party everyone makes a beeline for him because they know they're going to have a great evening. He'll probably spend more time sharing jokes with the wine waiter than brown-nosing the head of Deutsche. That sounds like a Senior Partner to me.

Martin Nguyen Relishes Historic World Title Opportunity Against Kevin Belingon
Martin "The Situ-Asian" Nguyen still strives to become the first man to ever hold three mixed martial arts world championships.
The two-division ONE World Champion already owns the belts at lightweight and featherweight, and will face Kevin "The Silencer" Belingon for the ONE Interim Bantamweight World Title at ONE: REIGN OF KINGS.
That bout will feature as the main event at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, the Philippines on 27 July.
The Vietnamese-Australian heads into the match off the back of his first World Title defense – a unanimous decision win over Christian "The Warrior" Lee in May.
Nguyen was not pleased with his performance in that contest at ONE: UNSTOPPABLE DREAMS in Singapore, because it did not meet his usual high standards for excitement.
On reflection, however, he is content with the work he did with his partners at KMA Top Team to triumph over a young, dangerous opponent on the largest global stage for martial arts.
"At the end of the day, regardless of how we fought, we got what we went for, which was the win," he says.
"We're happy, none of us were injured, and I could go back to the gym to work on what I needed to get back in there in the cage."
Once he was back in Sydney, the options for "The Situ-Asian's" next move were numerous, and spread across three weight classes.
In the past month, he has been called out by several contenders in the divisions he reigns over, and he still has a desire to face ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano "The Flash" Fernandes again after their close split-decision bout in February.
With the Brazilian nursing an injury, that contest was out of the question. As a true martial artist and World Champion, the man from Sydney was willing to do whatever was asked of him, and face anyone in any weight class.
As luck would have it, ONE offered him what he had already named as his ideal matchup – the next-best thing to a rematch with Fernandes, and another chance to win a historic third World Title.
"My ultimate goal after that featherweight title defense was to defend my lightweight title," he explains.
"We also wanted that rematch with Bibiano, but Kevin is the true number one contender, and I don't think he would want to wait for Bibiano, either. This gets both of us back to the cage as soon as possible."
It's yet another high-stakes scenario, in which the ONE Featherweight and Lightweight World Champion will face a ton of pressure.
He will be up against a man who has looked phenomenal putting five wins in a row together – including his latest, a sensational knockout of Andrew Leone. Nguyen will also travel to the Filipino's home country to face him.
That is nothing new for him, however. It is a very similar set of circumstances to his match against Eduard "Landslide" Folayang – another member of Baguio City's Team Lakay – at ONE: LEGENDS OF THE WORLD last November.
Folayang was also enjoying a victorious run as the ONE Lightweight World Champion, and stepped into the cage to defend the belt on home soil. But that night ended in a knockout victory for the visiting Vietnamese-Australian. He expected a tough match then, and this time will be no different.
Belingon will actually be the third member of the Philippines' most famous gym the two-division champion has faced. He first took on Edward "The Ferocious" Kelly in 2014 before he eventually met Folayang.
He believes his familiarity with the way the wushu stylists from that gym operate will be an extra advantage, along with some of his other qualities.
"I feel my advantages, to be blunt, have to be my championship round experience and my gas tank," Nguyen explains.
"I've got the utmost respect for Team Lakay. Mark [Sangiao, head coach] is out there doing a really good job at keeping the fighters humble and hungry. To be honest, I like to watch Team Lakay fight. They're powerful strikers with devastating kicks, as well as takedown defense.
"Kevin is a complete mixed martial artist. Yes, he's known for his striking, but he's proved to the world he can also wrestle.
"In general, they all fight the same way. This is my third fight with a guy from Team Lakay, so the way I prepared for that first one is how I'll be preparing for every other fight."
In true "Situ-Asian" style, he is supremely confident of a win on 27 July, and a battle that should entertain fans in the arena and at home around the world. In short, his message to them is: "Don't blink."
A victory would set up a unification bout with Fernandes in the future – before or after he has a title defense at lightweight.
Making matters more interesting, "The Flash" is expected to be cageside in Manila to watch Nguyen and Belingon go at it, and meet the winner afterward.
The ONE Featherweight and Lightweight World Champion is looking forward to that encounter if he gets his hand raised, but promises it will be a cordial one. The fireworks will have to wait until they meet in a main-event contest again.
"At the end of the day, we're going to dance again, and I'm here to be the hardest fight for anyone I face, and I believe I was the hardest fight of his whole career," Nguyen says.
"If he's there, I'll be respectful. The guy is an absolute legend and I look up to him as well, so there'll be a good chat," he adds, with a laugh.
